The Pankhurst Centre

The Pankhurst Centre is a significant building located in Manchester, dating from around 1840 and now altered. It is one of a pair of villas, with No. 60 to the right. The structure is made of red brick, with the left side rendered and mostly scored, and features a hipped slate roof. The building stands two storeys high and has three bays, which were originally symmetrical. The central bay is slightly projected and topped with a pediment. It has a stone plinth and a cornice with modillions.

The central doorway is elliptical-headed and features a set-in doorcase supported by slender Tuscan columns, complete with an entablature and cornice. The door itself is panelled and has a plain fanlight above it. The windows are 4-pane sashed with raised sills and wedge lintels, except for the ground floor right window, which has been altered to include a rectangular bay window, now painted black, with a slated pentice roof.

On the left return wall, there is a two-storey canted bay at the rear, which includes two-centred arched windows adorned with intersecting glazing bars and hoodmoulds. The interior has not been inspected. Historically, this building was the home of Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst when she founded the Women's Social and Political Union in 1903, which was part of the Suffragette Movement.
